The new www.yrdsb.ca features a built-in translation tool, enhanced search capabilities, integrated accessibility features and revised navigation based on user testing, website analytics and research. It also makes it easier for families to access online learning platforms and support using these tools through the Online Student Tools and Family Resource hubs. The new newsroom will also give families access to the latest news, videos and events to stay up-to-date with what’s happening in YRDSB.
